Fancy Rats Forum

Hi thanks Mary

I found a lot of conflicting advice on the internet so good to hear it from someone experienced!

I have Baytril but I will still take him in anyway to be safe - saves mum a job of trying to get him in over the weekend!

Thanks again! x

Hey all, long time now see :) I'm still ratless but rattysitting 16 beautiful furbabies for a friend. In typical ratty style, one has come down with the hoots 2 days before hooman-mum gets home. Going to phone the vets today but problem is I think he is only around the 4 month mark and is very teeny...

*following this thread as I've had the same issue*

Baytril, Baytril and Doxy, Veraflox and steroids haven't shifted my hooty old men's wheezes
Let me know if the vets let you try something different, Carol and I'll go demand the same

Aww what a cutie! and his wound is looking nice and pink x

Poor little guy! My Larry was prone to getting abscesses next to his willy... I think theres a name for it? Once one burst and you could see muscle so maybe it is a possibility for Robin? Once I pressed one and pus oozed from out under his foreskin :sick: But a dose of ABs sorted him out :) He had a...

Aww its Carter ♥

Beri's wealth of knowledge never ceases to amaze me

I had a rat with a massive facial abscess. The vet didn't want to operate with it being on his face so he jist gave him a course of baytril and some pain relief. The abscess cleared up very quickly without bursting, although I expect if logans has scabbed you won't be thay lucky :sick: there are bet...

Maybe Amber is trying to poop her namesake

Hopefully its nothing to worry about. Give poorlygirl-Amber scritches from me x

I'm not sure about all the features available on the phpBB software, but if it is possible to set up a group who has that section hidden from them, then that's something we could do. People would need to request to be added to that group on an individual basis though - we can look into that. If pos...

I think it got added a while ago with the intention of improving the welfare of the rats bred for reptile food (after all snakes have to eat). I wonder if perhaps that section of the forum could be hidden unless access is requested? (Like the "Adult Chat" section). Sorry that its upset you though :(...

Is amoxicilin penicillin based? John gave Gregory that once when nothing else seemed to work. Hope you get to see him soon

She was the only thing that stopped me sobbing in the waiting room, lol

Aww glad to hear her eye is getting better

My offer of contributing towards meds still stands! I feel a bit guilty for taking advantage of your soft nature xxx

Hi there, just got a few qus re: Leptospirosis A "stray" has been handed into the vets. However she is very tame (licky, boggley, snuggley) but she does have a lot of porph around her eyes (her right eye more so) and slight square tail. I'm not used to girls but I couldn't imagine her being more tha...
